South Korea

The National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관) was another amazing museum. The building itself was grand and well-designed. It was spacious enough to hold many different tourist groups.

I loved the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History (대한민국역사박물관). It contained a wealth of information about modern Korean history, from the 1860s to present. For me, the most fascinating of them all were the years after World War II which led to the separation of North Korea and South Korea.

In Seoul, we found that the South Koreans were very eager to share their heritage and their culture. There were numerous high-quality museums, and they were all well curated.
